“This morning the Air Force ROTC detachment at BYU was approached by the BYU campus police who advised caution about the potential safety of ROTC cadets,” Lt. Col. Allison said. “Out of extreme caution and because student safety is paramount, the Air Force ROTC detachment commander cancelled the parade in which the cadets were scheduled to march.”

Todd Hollingshead, media relations manager and information manager of BYU University Communications, also stated that the rumors of an active shooter were not true.

Lt. Steven Messick of the BYU Police reiterated this information and said “there was no threat to BYU.”
